The Art of Giving Back The Chatham Arts Council recently launched two new programs to help children through art: Artists-OutsideSchools and ArtAssist for Kids. Artists-Outside-Schools is an updated version of Artists-in-Schools for this school year. The partnership with Chatham County Schools offers virtual and socially distanced arts-related projects, including artist-of-the-month videos and 37 virtual workshops – one for every fifth grade class in the county. The other program, ArtAssist for Kids, launched in January and raises funds to provide art supplies for local children. Chatham Arts Council distributed the first round of supply kits in late January to more than 1,300 elementary and middle school remote learners from low-income families. These kits included paper, pencils, erasers, markers, colored pencils and glue. About 50 high schoolers on an arts path received items like sketchbooks, paint pens and felt-tip pens. CM
